(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Police Act 1997 (Criminal Records) (Fees) Order 2004, which specifies functions which the Secretary of State may recover the costs of when setting fees for issuing criminal record certificates and enhanced criminal record certificates, to update references to provisions in the Police Act 1997. The functions are the issuing of criminal record certificates and enhanced criminal record certificates to volunteers. This Order provides, in particular, that the costs of issuing up-date information (within the meaning of section 116A of the Police Act 1997) to volunteers are to be taken into account when determining the amount of any fees specified for providing such up-date information.
This Order also replaces references to "Secretary of State" with "Disclosure and Barring Service", following the transfer of functions relating to the provision of criminal record certificates and enhanced criminal record certificates from the Secretary of State to that body.
1997 c. 50. Sections 113A and 113B were inserted by section 163(2) of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (c. 15). Section 116A will be inserted by section 83 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 when it is brought into force.
